What makes Firepot different?
Cooked by hand
We have always stuck to the simple quality that comes from doing things slowly: something the fast-food economy forgot.
Fresh ingredients are chopped and stirred by hand by our team of trained chefs. They use recipes which were developed over months to ensure that meals arrive in your bowl just as they would in your own kitchen — delicious and perfectly cooked, with nutritional integrity.
Dehydration
Unlike other expedition food brands, Firepot meals are dehydrated, not freeze-dried.
Dehydration is a means of air-drying. Our dryers were designed in-house and use warm air to remove the moisture from our food. This gentle process helps us to retain the texture of a home-cooked dish, avoids the need for preservatives, and it ensures that the drying process is less energy-intensive. It’s a method that sets Firepot apart from every competitor in the market.
Sustainability
Firepot’s commitment to sustainability is at the heart of every meal. Honouring our West Country roots, we use high quality fresh ingredients, sourced as locally as possible. Our British pork and beef come through award-winning butchers and west country farms. We operate a zero-waste policy; and all our off-cuts go into the compost heap.
In 2018, Firepot also debuted the outdoor food market’s first fully compostable packaging, and we have even found a way to repurpose our standard, yellow pouches.
Award-winning menu
Firepot’s growing menu currently includes a range of 18 recipes to suit every palate. It is the only award-winning expedition food brand, and has been recognised in a class with restaurant-cooked meals every year since our launch in 2017.
We offer a wide range of recipes to suit every palate, including gluten-free options and the market’s largest range of vegan expedition food.
